McMillan's new offense

I agree. His coaching has been excellent this season imo. He's had a few screwups, but nobody is perfect. I definitely think he can lead this team to a championship.

At the same time, I'm not entirely convinced that McMillan deserves so much credit. I think he's doing a good job, but I also think a lot of coaches could do well with this roster.

It's the small stats that make me think Nate's doing some Very Good Things with a very talented roster: we're a low-turnover team, a high-percentage team, a very efficient team. But those are not traits of a young team. I think a lot of coaches could run these young horses fast and hard and win quite a few games... but you don't learn good habits that way. I think Nate's Mr. Miyagi routine has indeed taken hold, and is starting to work. Hell, even Outlaw's passing out of bad shots now. If he's learning, there's someone teaching.

Good point. One of the things that I really liked about McMillan in his first training camp with this team was that he isn't afraid to teach. He isn't afraid to get in the mix and show guys what he wants. I remember watching him guard Ruben Patterson in the post once... it was very entertaining.
